What I would do (no guarantees that this will work) is just wipe it and 
reinstall it...

rpm -e rpmdrake
rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/rpmdrake-<version on the cd>.rpm

I can't remember if rpmdrake has been patched, so check MandrakeUpdate 
afterwards or go to a mirror and download and manually install any updates 
you find.
